SinkScience #09 - Faucet Hydro-Electric Power

MrfixitRick shows how to make hydro-electric power using faucet water pressure, a Tesla CD Turbine, and a Subaru radiator fan motor as a generator.

The Tesla CD Turbine is home-made from recycled CD's, CD cakebox, and neodymium magnets.

This video contains quality information.

The concept of Tesla is similar to Magnetic Generator.

If you want to get Free Energy System to power your Home:

- Here is my advice for you:

-- There is a review of the current Magnetic Generators in the market

--- Go to Google and search for Top Magnet Generator

---- and.. Click the first results

@subhankarkudghat

This is a scam that I do NOT promote or endorse in any way.

Sites set up with "magnetic generator' and "Tesla magnetic generator" have been scamming all over the internet.

I have built an actual Tesla Turbine Magnetic Generator, but I am not ready to release it to the public just yet.

excellent video. have you thought of maybe just having a system installed on the backside of the main coming into the house. guess you could do the math based on the faucet gpm and your daily water usage to figure if it would be worth it. great idea though, and excellent follow through. keep up the videos!

@pappybam

The math works out to a couple of pennies a day of power for most families. It could save millions of dollars a year country-wide. But it would take billions of dollars to install it in millions of homes, and take 1000 years for payback of initial capital.

If the turbine could power a remote meter or other device, it may be worth it to install.

only one watt!! this put me off makin one now lol what psi was it workin at??

[MrfixitRick]

@117cam

This turbine runs at about 30 psi faucet water pressure. The power increases significantly with more pressure and volume.

@117cam It was just a test run

Cleo will get you someday, oh yes he will !!!!!!!!!

@MrfixitRick thanks for reply. I suppose it makes sense, even with perfect efficiency you're not going to get out more energy than it took to put the water in the tower in the first place...and I've never heard municipal complaints regarding that particular energy demand. nevertheless, impressive exploration and execution. we need more people thinking like you. thanks.

I like the frictionles magnet connection.
